Weekly Challenge #106 Water
Posted By: Peter Zack, 08-10-2009, 04:34 AM

This week's challenge is going to be wide open to interpretation, It's WATER. The contest will close on the 18th and I'll post the winners the following day. ( you get an extra day as I will be away on the 16th and 17th)

I'm looking for a subject that is really a little different and grabs my attention, maybe something you wouldn't see every day unless you looked closely. For this I want water to be the central subject, not a sunset over the water where the sunset/sunrise is really the central subject and water is just an element.

It could be a waterfall like this:

It could be a reflection like this:

It could be ice like this:

Or a dew drop on a flower, a spiderweb after a rain, etc. Open to your imagination. Lets see lots of submissions.

..........................................................................
The fine print....

1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

my right foot....

a spur of the moment shot.... always have been fascinated by the dynamic qualities of water, in some of the most simple venues... like my foot in my backyard pool...
i hope 1024x1012 wont disqualify me... i simply don't know how to just get in under the wire so to speak....

I'm thoroughly enjoying the participation and the quality plus variety of shots being presented. Great week so far. I'll be home tomorrow with a better internet connection and the contest will close tomorrow evening. Keep posting.

It's been awhile since I've participated but I got some pretty cool shots this morning I'd like to share. I saw this web and at first I thought it was covered with dust but I was wrong. It fits this weeks theme, I think. Peter, I'm not going for a win so I'd like to bend the rules a bit and submit two pics, the second is an enlargement of a section of the first.






Good luck judging these entries:-).

Wow, guys these entries are rather spectacular. You should compile them into a "Water" coffee table book.
